Deepika Padukone in trouble- loses Spirit and Kalki 2
Deepika Padukone in trouble- loses Spirit and Kalki 2 
Ironically, Deepika Padukone, who recently welcomed her first child, is reportedly facing setbacks in her professional life. After Sandeep Reddy Vanga dropped her from Spirit, fresh buzz suggests she may also be dropped from Kalki 2, featuring Prabhas.
As per reports Deepika’s request for “shorter work hours” following motherhood is reportedly causing “friction on sets”.
The report states that the makers of Kalki 2 are now considering removing her from the film entirely. However, no official statement has been made by the actress or makers yet.
Earlier, Deepika Padukone was allegedly dropped from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit due to disagreements over remuneration and reported “unprofessional” behaviour.
A source close to the development reveals that “Sandeep Reddy Vanga got the shock of his life when Deepika Padukone refused to shoot for more than 6 hours a day for Spirit. That’s not all, the actress, via her agency, also started to demand an amendment to the contract. Their point of contention was simple – if the shoot extends beyond 100 days, Deepika will have to be paid extra for every single day of shoot beyond the commitment on paper.”
Sandeep Reddy Vanga also addressed the situation publicly. Without naming Deepika directly, he shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “When he narrates a story to an actor, he places 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between them.But by doing this, she has DISCLOSED’ the person that she is
Putting down a Younger actor and ousting her story? Is this what her feminism stands for? As a filmmaker, he has put years of hard work behind his craft & for him, filmmaking is everything. She didn’t get it. She won’t get it. She will never get it.”
He further added, “Aisa karo…. Agli baar poori kahani bolna… kyunki mujhe jarra bhi farak nahi padtha.
Following Deepika’s reported exit, Triptii Dimri has been confirmed as the female lead in Spirit.
The actress, who earlier worked with Vanga in Animal, announced her casting via social media. She shared a photo of the film’s title poster with her name in various Indian and international languages.
In the caption, she wrote, “Still sinking in… So grateful to be trusted with this journey. Thank you sandeep reddy.vanga… Honoured to be a part of his vision.
